Safety Precautions
Several key precautions must be followed to insure operator
safety:
1. Always test and reset the Steemer A.L.C.I. plug.
2. Do not immerse the hand-held nozzle of the Oreck Steemer.
3. Do not allow the lower recovery tank to overfill.
4. Do not pick up corrosive, combustible, or flammable liquids such as
acids, gasoline, alcohol, or use this product in areas where vapors
from these types of materials are present.
5. Do not use to clean out bathtubs, flooded basements or any place
where the liquid depth exceeds 1⁄8”.
Steemer brush roll will
not turn.
Cleaner will not run or
suddenly stops.
ALL OTHER SERVICING SHOULD BE DONE BY AN
ORECK AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
• Check that the upper supply tank is partially
filled with hot tap water. Caution: Do not
overfill.
• Check that a cleaner cartridge is installed
and that the white lever is locked in the
downward position. Due to pressurization, the
cleaner will not properly operate without a
cleaner cartridge in place. If the cleaner
cartridge is empty, replace it with a full
cartridge.
Check that the spray tips are not clogged.
•
Use a towel or damp cloth to clean.
• For above-the-floor cleaning, check that the
hand-held nozzle and hose assembly is
properly connected to the cleaner neck. Also
insure that the nozzle change button has
een engaged.
b
• For best results, use a stain pretreatment,
such as Steemer Full Release
Spot & Stain PreCleaner. These solutions
loosen and break down most common
household grease, oil, and food stains.
• Make several slow passes over the stain
from different angles.
• Make at least one additional pass over the
wet carpet without pressing the cleaner spray
button.
• Check that the hand-held nozzle trigger is
not engaged.
• With each pass, slowly pull the unit toward
you to extract any remaining liquid in the
carpet. To speed drying, gently push the
nozzle deep into the carpet pile.
• Check for airpath obstructions in the
stair/upholstery hose, cleaner neck and in the
nozzle. Check to insure that the inlet screen
is free of debris.
• Check that the upper supply tank has water.
• Operate the machine more slowly; you will
achieve better results with one slow pass
than several fast strokes.
Overlap each pass to provide maximum
•
cleaning without streaking.
• In high traffic or heavily soiled carpets, it is
occasionally beneficial to allow the carpet to
dry and repeat the process as needed to
achieve optimal cleaning.
Check that the nozzle power cord is
•
completely connected to the main unit.
• If an obstruction stalls the brush roll, the belt
is designed to burn through so as to protect
the motor. Please insure through inspection
that the brush roll is free of obstructions and
is free to turn. Secondly
belt is in good working order. Replace the
belt if needed.
If the belt and the brush roll become
•
excessively wet, momentary slippage can
occur. By running the unit on a dry section of
carpet for a minute or less, the belt will
function properly.
• Reinsert the plug, if it has slipped out of the
outlet.
A.L.C.I. may have tripped of
The
•

reset button and restart the unit.

S
ervicing of Double-Insulated Appliances
A double-insulated appliance is marked with one or more of the
following: The words “Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated” or the
double-insulation symbol ( ). In a double-insulated appliance, two
systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding
means it is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a
means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a doubleinsulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system
and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement
parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they
replace.
Polarization Instructions:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the Oreck Steemer model is
quipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one
e
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to fit the plug fully
into an outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the purpose of the polarized plug in any way.
A.L.C.I
The Oreck Steemer is made to double-insulated specifications and is
equipped with an A.L.C.I. (Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter). The
A.L.C.I. shuts off the unit in potentially hazardous situations.
fig. 5 The A.L.C.I. has a Test and Reset button which should be tested
each time the unit is plugged in.
a. Do not remove the tag which provides test instructions from
around the cord at the A.L.C.I. (A.L.C.I. may vary from illustration).
DANGER: Improper installation of A.L.C.I. can result in electric shock.
Do not modify or bypass the A.L.C.I. Do not replace any electrical
component in this product with anything other than an authorized
ORECK replacement part. The risk of electric shock can result if used in
the vicinity of improperly grounded stationary appliances (stove,
refrigerator, washer, etc.).
To Set-Up Cleaner
The Oreck Steemer carpet and hard flooring cleaner is designed for
fast and easy set-up.
fig. 6 Swing the wheels away from the nozzle into the operating
position.

CAUTION: Do not overfill tank. Do not put any type of
shampoo/cleaner into the supply tank.
fig. 10
Close tank cap and place the tank back on the cleaner
latch to slide the tank upward into position until you hear a
“click”, signaling that the tank is securely locked into place.
Insert Cleaning Cartridge/Bottle:
NOTE: Steemer will not operate without a cleaner cartridge locked
into the docking bay. Use only Steemer Full Release®Professional
Carpet Cleaner cartridges, which are specifically formulated to be
residue-free. Other carpet shampoo will leave residues in the unit
that will, over a short period of time, clog the dispensing system
and void your warranty.
Do Not Force Latch!
. Lift the
Remove the cleaner cartridge/bottle cap.
fig. 11
Insert the cleaner cartridge into the docking bay on the
side of the cleaner.
a. The directions on the cleaner cartridge must be facing out.
b. Lock and seal the cartridge in the cleaner by rotating the
white lever on cartridge from top to bottom.
Test and reset the A.L.C.I.:
fig. 5
Plug in the power cord. Press the test button to shut off
power. To reset the A.L.C.I., simply push in the reset
button on the plug.
To Prepare Carpet
lways vacuum thoroughly with an ORECK Vacuum Cleaner before
A
using the Oreck Steemer. It provides excellent carpet and hard floor
cleaning on surfaces that are free of surface debris.
To achieve best results, high traffic areas and carpet stains should be
pretreated prior to cleaning using Steemer Full Release
Spot & Stain PreCleaner.
CAUTION: Before cleaning a carpet for the first time, test a small
area for color fastness.
Pour a small amount of Steemer Full Release®Professional Carpet
Cleaner on a clean white cloth and blot carpet. Examine this cloth for
color removal; if color appears on the cloth, the carpeting is not colorfast
and should not be cleaned with any wet extraction process.
NOTE: This product is not recommended for use on carpets made
from silk, velvet, wool and some cotton blends. Check the
manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations.

following instructions very carefully.
Most modern upholstery fabrics may be safely cleaned by wet cleaning
methods; yet there are exceptions to this, as some delicate or unusual
fabrics require “dry cleaning.” If you are in doubt about the type of fabric,
we suggest that you check with the manufacturer or dealer where the
furniture was purchased. Most fabrics are wear coded by the
manufacturer which details cleaning methods for a particular fabric. If
necessary, bring in a cushion or arm cover to your dealer.

Prior to cleaning any upholstered furniture, read the
• Cleaning upholstery which is covered with fabrics that are not
compatible with wet cleaning may result in damage to the fabric.
Know what the fabric is and how it may be cleaned before using the
Oreck Steemer cleaner.
• Check the stuffing material if possible. Look inside cushions and
underneath the furniture. If the filling is colored, it may bleed through
and discolor the furniture. Most modern stuffing material is light
colored and colorfast.

To Clean Carpet Cleaner
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury from
moving parts, unplug before servicing.
Before turning the cleaner off, tilt the cleaner back, raising the nozzle off
the carpet for 15-20 seconds. This prevents extracted water in the
nozzle from dripping back onto the carpet after you turn the cleaner off.
